<p>Thanks Tracy, I read about pancreatitis, indeed.. Its a pity since it was my "secret" arm, but better to avoid gravy (as all other fats) :)</p>

<p>Yes I too have had an underweight and fussy lady to feed. As a baby puppy I had to remove Nuela from the show ring due to her light frame. I then began to feed her, her dried formula as normal, but started to add chicken mince and would add gravy to every meal that I fed her. While the others would devour their checken necks I would find hers hidden in various places. After several weeks of adding gravy, scrambled egg etc to every meal I again began to give her chicken necks after her meal…</p>

She is now a good eater and once a week I add a natural yoghurt to their meal to help with the digestive system.</p>
<p>As youngsters I always restrict their exercise to a short run twice a day and all other exercise of the lead. As I found with my guys sometimes expensive foods such as Eukanuba etc is not always popular with the dog and vets do have a tendancy to recommend these expensive brands. I am sure with a little variety of food and restricted exercise your girl will begin to put some weight on.</p> Dee,

<p>Dee,</p>
<p> Do you mind if I ask about problems associated with the BARF diet!!! I'm curious to hear all sides. I'm between minds about changing! My guy has weight issues so I'd love to hear more!</p>

<p>mmmm duck fat sounds like a kind of gravy.. when Oberon was a bit fussy I gave him two tablespoon of gravy, mixed in his minced meat+rice meal.. He divored the whole bowl!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It was a kind of "handmade" gravy bought in a local farm, so not an industrial product, but still I am not sure is a good idea.. Is not something too fat for them?</p>

Yes, I definitely am Ossian. It's great to know that everyone has been in the same boat and had to deal with the ignorance of 'non-setter' members of the public! :D

<p>I think for now, I'll just keep her as she is, I've just introduced the Hills but I think I'm going to cut out the luchtime meal as she's started to leave her food, she is obviously getting too full.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'll try her like this until her next weigh in otherwise I'm not going to know what's working and what's not!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I've actually noticed a difference in her over the past week, since she came into season, her ribs are much less noticable :)</p>

Do you think I should drop down the amount of Hills she's getting, thus lowering her protein? I was thinking of lowering the weight I give her anyway because she picks half of it out! Lol! Maybe stop her lunch? It would give me a lot more flexability for walking times as well.
